The variably weighted Odum dissimilarity (DwOdum) allows for down-weighting the influence of either abundant or rare taxa in calculating a measure of similarity between two communities. We show that down-weighting the influence of rare taxa can be used to minimize pseudo b-diversity arising from incomplete sampling. Down-weighting the influence of abundant taxa can increase the sensitivity of hypothesis testing. OTUshuff is an associated test for identifying the presence of pseudo-diversity in pairwise community contrasts. </p><div><br>Resources in this dataset:</div><br><ul><li><p>Resource Title: OTUshuff.</p> <p>File Name: Web Page, url: <a href=\"https://www.ars.usda.gov/research/software/download/?softwareid=462&modecode=30-12-30-15\">https://www.ars.usda.gov/research/software/download/?softwareid=462&modecode=30-12-30-15</a> </p><p>download page</p></li></ul><p></p>", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://www.ars.usda.gov/research/software/download/?softwareid=462&modecode=30-12-30-15", "mediaType": "text/html", "title": "https://www.ars.usda.gov/research/software/download/?softwareid=462&modecode=30-12-30-15"}], "identifier": "10113/AA22558", "keyword": ["computer software", "species diversity", "organisms"], "license": "https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/", "modified": "2024-02-13", "programCode": ["005:040"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "Agricultural Research Service"}, "title": "OTUshuff"}
